Abstract
We describe two attempts to the synthesis of novel constrained L-AP4 analogs of potential antagonist activity. Although the first approach to introduce alkyl substituent on the amino acid carbon using cyclopropyl keton failed, conversion of cyclopropanecarboxylate into corresponding β-ketophosphonate is promising and more general.
